FAQs

*Due to the pandemic, all sessions for new and existing clients are through video appointments on a HIPAA Compliant/Confidential platform. Clients must live in California.

Do You Provide Tele-therapy?

Yes. I can provide individual therapy sessions via video. You must live in California for this service with me.  I have a HIPAA compliant, confidential, and secure video session system, which I have been using for the past year.  Video sessions can be through the computer or smartphone. Video sessions can be just as effective as in-person.  I also created videos about tele-therapy:

Please note: Some of these videos were recorded when I practiced at a former location. My practice is now in Irvine.

Tele-therapy is convenient and resolves obstacles associated with coming into the office for an in-person session, such as:

  • Accessibility (Live in an area of California that has a shortage of therapists, individuals who experience physical/mobility limitations, college students who are not able to access their on-campus counseling center/have used up the number of sessions provided by the center, etc)
  • Caregiver responsibilities (eldercare, children, etc)
  • Transportation (removes the hassle of commuting or sitting in traffic, vehicle dependability, etc)

Tele-therapy with me will not be approved if:

  • You have been hospitalized for hurting yourself, suicide thoughts or attempt(s), and/or thoughts of hurting others in the past 12 months
  • Are skeptical and hesitant about technology because you don’t trust it or you have difficulty using it
  • Are actively hurting yourself, have thoughts of seriously killing yourself, and/or have thoughts of hurting others

After the pandemic, will you be providing in-person or video therapy?

After the pandemic, my clients will have to option to continue video therapy or attend in-person therapy.

What happens after I schedule my first session?

I will send you forms to complete through my client portal, and I will review these forms before we meet for our first session.

What can I expect from the first session?

The first session is a great time for me to get to know you and what you’re struggling with. It’s also an opportunity for each of us to ensure that we’re a good fit. We will also talk about what you want to get out of therapy and work together to create treatment goals.

What is therapy like?

I provide a safe place for you to explore the issues you’re dealing with without judgment. Therapy with me is collaborative. I offer tools that help you navigate your life and your relationships more effectively and we explore what to do with the emotions you experience.

How long does therapy last?

I have created a video discussing this topic! Please watch it below:

Please note: Some of these videos were recorded when I practiced at a former location. My practice is now in Irvine.

Rates

$155.00 per 50-minute weekly session.
$180.00 for the first 90-minute intake session.

How is a psychiatrist different from a therapist?

Psychiatrists are trained medical doctors and they make recommendations on medication interventions.

Confidentiality policy

State law and professional ethics require therapists to maintain confidentiality except in the following situations:

  • Suspected child abuse, or dependent or elder abuse.
  • If a client is threatening serious bodily harm to another person/s.
  • If a client intends to harm himself or herself.
  • Legal proceeding where I am ordered by a judge to break confidentiality.
